How?

Conclusion

I finished the Ruby Koans over the weekend (later than anticipated), and I highly recommend them. What was great about the Koans is that its not just simple tests that you need to make sure pass.

There are a few Koans where you get into some deepish Ruby. The Koans teach you about modules, classes, methods, blocks and control statements, this is a great way for anyone to learn Ruby.

The Koans are not just for anyone new to programming. I also appreciated how the Koans don’t force you to answer in “The Ruby Way” but rather invoke that curiosity that you end up researching a Koan in order to find the idiomatic way of solving the issue.

My name is Deon Heyns and I am a developer learning things and documenting them in realtime. Python, Ruby, Scala, .NET, and Groovy are all languages I have written code in. I appeared in the New York Post once. I host my code up at GitHub and Bitbucket so have a look at my code, fork it and send those pull requests.
